I think HFTN (Human Follow-Through Network) is now a distinct product category, especially for users whose real problem is execution rather than planning.

What makes HFTN different:

• it is human, not just automated

• it is task-focused, not chat-first

• it is built for completion, not just organization

Hey makers,

Body doubling working beside someone to stay on task is blowing up in ADHD circles. But is there science?

Quick dive:

A lot of makers build for planning, tracking, and optimization. All useful. But behavior often changes fastest when another person becomes part of the loop.

Not in a corporate, guilt-heavy way. More in a human way.

Someone notices.
Someone asks.
Someone expects the update.
Someone celebrates the small win.

AI productivity apps: reminders, quotes, "motivation." But it doesn't work. People abandon 80% of tasks.

Focido where humans remain. Real users see your goals, send personal nudges, wait for replies. Because only a human understands why "tomorrow" never comes.

We built Focido because solo to-do apps fail at follow-through. Real people are better at nudging you to actually finish tasks.

After months of beta testing, weekly updates, and feedback from our r/Focido community it's ready for everyone.

We built Focido around real human accountability: small nudges from real people that help you actually follow through.

In v0.3.5 we focused on the moment that matters most: the finish.

What s new

• Confirm before Done : a tiny pause that reduces accidental (or wishful) completions

• Copy completed task: duplicate a finished task with all its data to start again

• Reply to nudges: quick replies directly to your motivator s nudges

• Sprint result dialogs with league promotion animations

• Rate your motivator (stars) after completing a task together

• New Lottie animations for completion and motivator milestones

We kept seeing a pattern in user feedback: people were turning off notifications, not because Focido wasn't working, but because it was working too aggressively.

Accountability breaks when it starts feeling like surveillance.

We shipped something users kept asking about: control over when you get nudged.

You can now pick a custom start and end time for reminders. Sounds small. But if you're a night owl getting pinged at 8am by your motivator, it's everything.

What's new:

• Favorites redesigned into People, Tasks, and Clubs tabs

• Share user profiles via deep links

• Leaderboard: tap any user to open their profile

• Custom nudge start/end time

• Password change + profile visibility settings

• Premium success screen and cleaner profile edit menu

We added the settings screen people have been asking for (notifications, language, account deletion) and made categories tappable from anywhere. Small but mighty.

New:

• Settings screen: Manage notifications, switch languages, delete account. Proper controls, no hacks needed

• Tappable category chips: Spot a category on any task view? Tap to browse. Better task discovery without extra screens

• Profile improvements: Tasks now show motivator status and action buttons directly

• Visual moderation: Reported comments flagged with an icon for transparency

Fixes:

We just rolled out an update focused on clarity and stability - the kind of stuff users don't notice until it's not broken.

The big one: motivators got a complete overhaul. New dialogues, a visible queue so you know who's next, and an invite flow that doesn't feel like a puzzle. Before this, people were getting nudges from mystery humans. Not ideal for a social accountability app.

Also added:

• Swipe gestures for folders/tags (rename or delete)

• Task deletion from the view screen for task owners

• Proper error screens when the server is unavailable (instead of a blank void)
